It is protectedby law and is made of specially prepared cardboard, so cut that it foldsinto a box jUBt big enough to hold thebiscut for which it is designed. It islined with a delicate waterproof paperthat is the actual wrapper of the eontents, and the placing of thispaper andthe cardboard around the biscuit, in theform of a box, without the use of pasteor nails, or metal clamps or cords is awonder in itself. The exterior is stillfurther protected with a label sheetdesignating the contents, the end beingsealed with the "In-er-seal" trade markdesign now so familiar to all newspaperreaders.This trademark design Is one that wasadopted advisedly, for It is a sealedand inersealed package. It is so sealedoutside and inside that it would beimoossible for moisture to enter,though the package were exposed to aLondon fog, or an April shower; impossible for dust to get in even if acyclone carried it along; impossible forodors of the mackerel barrel or themeat block to get in, even if left outin their odorous company; impossiblefor a germ to enter, because the biscuits are packed at the ovenside allthe good sealed in; all the bad sealedout.The "In-er-seal Patent Package" Iscontrolled and used exclusively by theNational Biscuit company, the originators of the famous Uneeda Biscuitand other TTneeda products, much ofthe lame of whieh resulted from theprotection of this wonderful package.This alone is sufficient testimony of itsability to keep good things good.THEY REACH StTpAUL.Boer Envoys Are Given a HeartyReception.St. Paul, Minn., June 7.

HOOD.O..L Hood & Co. Victorious) in Important Cases . InjunctionAgainst Br. J. O. Hood.Important suits have Just been decided in the t'nited States circuit courtinvolving the right to the word Hoodor Hood's. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co.,of Lowell, Mass., proprietors of Hood'sSarsapariUa, began suit for infringment against Dr. J. C. Hood of Louisville, Ky., who was putting up whathe called "Dr. Hood's SarsapariUa."After a hearing in the United Statescircuit court at Louisville, Judge Evanson April 12 granted a temporary injunction in tavor of O. I. Hood & Co.,and restraining J. C. Hood from usingthe word Hood in any way or form onany preparation of sa aparilla.Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. also begansuit against a retail druggist in Indianapolis, Louis H. Renkeit. who was selling Dr. J. C. Hood's SarsapariUa. Dr.J. C. Hood employed counsel and madea defense, but Judge Baker of theUnited States circuit court granted aninjunction which on April 23 becameperpetual.These two decrees establish the exclusive right of C. I. Hood & Co. to theword "Hood's" and declce In effect thatno other person can put up a Hood'sSarsapariUa even if his name is Hood,nor can any retail druggist sell or offerfor sale any sarsapariila bearing thename Hood or Hood's other than thatprppared by C. I. Hood & Co.These decisions will be gratifying toevery fair minded pei-son. No manufacturer should object to fair competition, but where an attempt is made tosteal or Infringe upon a business whichhas been established by great skill,labor and expenditure, justice cannotbe dealt out too quickly. Nor should"substitution" be allowed, when a standard nrtiele is ealled for. Therefore,when you go to buy Hood's SarsapariUayou should be sure to get "onlyHood's."ELSIE FRY FOUND.Girl Who Mysteriously Disappeared Is Now in NorthTopeka.Elsie Fry, the Junction City schoolteacher who disappeared from KansasCity, where she was visiting friends,it is believed has been located in NorthTopeka.PLAYED CHICKEN.How Eight Men and a ChildLost Their Lives.Milwaukee, June 7.
